[2025 West Jakarta Attraction] Travel Guide for Jakarta History Museum (Updated Mar)

When I returned to China at the end of the winter vacation, I had no choice but to go to Jakarta because I didn't have a suitable flight ticket. Most of the inertial comments about this city come from the Internet: a super city with a population of 30 million, terrible traffic, dirty and messy, poverty and wealth are separated by a wall, speeders touch their mobile phones, and there are even stinky original underwear sold in packages... I feel, well, You can come here to practice before going to India. At the same time, Jakarta is also the fastest sinking city on earth. It will become the contemporary "Atlantis" in 2050. Just because of this name, let's go shopping. To sum up: it is more interesting than imagined, but not much. . Picture ①: Kuningan City The parking lot on the sixth floor above Gate 1 is currently the best auction location in Jakarta, perfectly reflecting the characteristics of this city. Figure ②: Jakarta History Museum It is a Dutch heritage building in 1707. Most of the museum's exhibits are from the 17th to 19th centuries. It is not large in area and the content is relatively hard-core. Many students will come to visit. It is very enthusiastic and healed by their smiles. Picture ③: Kuningan City Rotary parking lot. Figure ④: Jakarta Cathedral Gothic cathedral from 1891, the third largest Catholic church in the world. Picture ⑤: Istiklal Mosque I went there on Friday to worship and didn't go inside. The window grilles are all made of stainless steel and are unique. Picture ⑥: Cafe Batavia A century-old coffee shop, opposite the history museum, the food is average, you have to go to the toilet, you know. Picture ⑦: Gaya Spa Wellness Wolter Monginsidi The horse-killing chicken restaurant most recommended by domestic bloggers can be visited by couples together. It cost about 900rmb for two people, and the technique was good. I was pushed to sleep. After pressing the button, meals will be included on the second floor. Figure ⑧: Bundaran HI The bus station has the best seats. There is no subway in Jakarta, so we mainly rely on buses. Picture ⑨: Pasar Barang Antik Surabaya Antique Street has a lot of strange things. Picture ⑩: Giyanti Coffee Roastery The coffee shop across from the antique street, ranked ninth on the Asian Coffee Top50 list, is the only one in Jakarta. I think the coffee is okay, and I think it tastes better. Figure ⑪: HW Phoenix Bar PIK Don’t go to other beaches in Jakarta, it feels like the 1980s. PIK 2 near the airport is not bad. It is known as Little Bali and is relatively trendy. At this phoenix, you can eat, drink, listen to music, and recommend cocktails 🍸. Picture ⑫: Twelve Chinese Dining Restaurant The 12 zodiac themed restaurant, the decoration is very flashy, the Chinese food tastes good, Australia comes back to save the Chinese stomach.

Jakarta History Museum, also known as Batavia Museum is located at Kota Tua. As a solo traveller, I choose to walk here after my visit at Glodok China Town, which took me around 15 minutes on foot. The entrance fee is cheap, at IDR5,000. You can see lots of collection from the Dutch colonisation such as ceramics, historical maps, paintings and archeological items. The building compound is spacious and you can ride a bicycle within the compound. At the exit, you can grab a beautiful and nicely crafted souvenir to bring back home. Wayang Museum and Fine Art/Ceramic Museum also located next to the Jakarta History Museum. #historymuseum #ilovejakarta

#getgoing2025 Old Batavia is like stepping into a time machine that takes you back to Jakarta’s colonial days. The cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and museums make it a fascinating place to explore. I spent hours wandering around, learning about the city’s history and soaking up the old-world charm. Fatahillah Square is the heart of it all, and it’s a great spot to grab a coffee and people-watch.
